Peyton and Eli have a pretty fair role model, on and off the field, in dad Archie, the second overall pick in the 1971 NFL Draft. The three got together for an SN photo shoot in 2004, just before Eli was about to make the jump from Ole Miss. While Archie spent most of his pro career running for his life behind dreadful Saints offensive lines, his QB-playing sons have stood tall in the pocket (save for one famous scramble by Eli) and led their teams to Super Bowl victories.

Tim Hardaway and Tim Hardaway Jr.

The younger Hardaway did something last March that pops didn't get to experience: play in a Final Four. In fact, Junior was a big part of Michigan's run to the title game. He has a long way to go before he can match Senior's NBA exploits, though. Dad averaged 17.7 points and 8.2 assists over 13 seasons with the Warriors (Run TMC, anyone?), Heat, Mavericks, Nuggets and Pacers. (Sam Robles for Sporting News, 2011 photo)

Bobby and Brett Hull

The Golden Jet and the Golden Brett. The Hulls combined for 1,351 NHL goals during their playing days. That doesn't include the 303 goals Bobby scored in the WHA. One number that meant a lot to Brett: 9, which Bobby wore for most of his career. In 2005, the Phoenix Coyotes un-retired the number--Bobby wore it when the franchise played in Winnipeg--so Brett could wear it for them. (Paul Connors/AP)
